"The witch hunt/victimhood rhetoric is part of the authoritarian playbook and was/is used by the following corrupt leaders: Mussolini, Hitler, Berlusconi, Erdogan. If extended to the whole country being victimized, add Putin, Xi, and more.”

 @f884fa2b everything is someone else's fault 

 @2b72bf69 That's the bully's playbook. I see bullies as people stuck in early adolescence, who know only how to taunt and try to turn everything upside down, so that black becomes white and good becomes bad — and the hostility they're acting out becomes the pretend-hostility of those they're bullying.
